Beauty And Essex

2011 Rueda Verdejo

Marques De Irun Beauty And Essex is a delightful white wine crafted from the Verdejo varietal, hailing from the prestigious Rueda region. This 2011 vintage presents a vibrant, pale golden hue that invites you to experience its aromatic bouquet. On the nose, it showcases enchanting notes of stone fruit, particularly apricot and peach, intertwined with a refreshing hint of herbs and lemon zest. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, offering a harmonious balance between lively acidity and a pleasing fruit intensity, which invigorates the palate. As you savor each sip, the wine reveals its crisp character without overwhelming dryness, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with seafood or light salads. This wine exemplifies the elegance and charm that Verdejo is known for, all while emphasizing the unique terroir of Rueda.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
